ISSUE 2: MYSTERY, THE UNKNOWN, SURPRISE

INTRO: It is possible to compress mystery, the unknown, surprise--and other topics--into one note that ranges far afield and raises interesting questions about digital and criminal intent.

NOTE: In this note, Jeremy Biles and Brian Collins recast the JonBenét Ramsey tragedy in terms of the confessed killer who was not convicted--and has since created a virtual cult.

ISSUE 1: NAVIGATION

INTRO: Navigation is truly interdisciplinary. It links mind, body, environment, and technology to cultural practices. Navigation is epistemological, but it is often a mundane, everyday activity. Read the first issue of NANO for new ideas on getting from A to B.
